Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 160

Seeing that Hu Yizhi lowered his eyes and remained silent, Liu Xiaolu had no choice but to persuade him again, "Father, there are still nearly two years until the opening of the Bishui Cave. We have enough time to investigate this matter."

"City Master Jin is very suspicious. If he knows that we secretly questioned the past, it will definitely arouse his vigilance. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for you to escape marriage after two years." Hu Yizhi finally frowned.

"Father treats me with great kindness, and I am willing to help him find out the whereabouts of that female Gu master, so as to untangle my father's heart."

The girl's voice was not loud, but her tone was extremely firm, "If father is not willing to interrogate like this, then after Bishuidongtian returns, I will marry into the Jin family, and I can seek the truth for father if I want."

"You!" Hu Yizhi stood up angrily when he heard the words, and said angrily, "You child is too willful, how can you use your life's major events to get angry with me!"

Liu Xiaolu looked at the middle-aged man in white with a calm face, shook his head and said, "Father should know, I'm not just talking about this matter casually."

Hu Yizhi and the girl looked at each other for a while, then sighed, and said, "It's not easy to investigate the younger generation of the Jin family, and they may not know the whole story of what happened back then."

"You have to try." Liu Xiaolu nodded.

Hearing this, Hu Yizhi stopped talking, and pondered for a while, before speaking again,

"Jin Mengliang, the son of City Lord Jin, is weak and rarely leaves the mansion. Not only are there many casual cultivators in the City Lord's mansion, the guards are strict, and there are several formations protecting each other. It may be difficult to sneak in."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu nodded in agreement, but did not speak, but quietly waited for his next words.

"As for the four grandchildren of City Lord Jin, I heard that Jin Ziqin, the eldest, was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the old City Lord in his early years, so he left in a fit of anger and has not returned for many years."

"She managed to escape under the nose of the old city lord?" Liu Xiaolu asked in surprise.

The Lord of Jin City is powerful, and thinking that Jin Ziqin was only a teenage girl back then, Liu Xiaolu was a little surprised that she was able to escape smoothly.

Hu Yizhi shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the details of this incident, it happened after I left Yuchuan."

Liu Xiaolu nodded slightly, and didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he urged, "Then what about the remaining three?"

"The second child is the young city lord Jin Ziqi who has been in the limelight recently. I heard that this person is still staying in the city lord's mansion, but he will return to the sect soon after he stays.

Besides, he has extraordinary aptitude. Although he is only 16 years old, he already has the ninth level of Qi refining. The old city lord also values ​​him very much. He has prepared a lot of treasures for him. It is difficult for you and me to deal with it alone. . "Hu Yizhi frowned.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu also knew that this matter was not as easy as he thought, but he still gritted his teeth unwillingly and asked, "Where are the other two?"

Hu Yizhi's complexion was not very good-looking, and he said in a low tone, "The third son, Jin Zishu, is a mortal without spiritual roots, and he has no chance to understand such secrets.
The youngest, Jin Zihua, was only 13 years old and was born after the two left, so he probably didn't know about it. "

Gold painting?
Liu Xiaolu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the girl in Tsing Yi he met outside the gate of Jingtian Tower, it turned out that she was actually the little granddaughter of Old City Lord Jin.

Jin Mengliang and Jin Ziqi are difficult to get in touch with, and Jin Ziqin is even missing. From this point of view, only the mortal Jin Zishu may be able to try.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolu raised his head and said, "Perhaps we can start with Jin Zishu first, he is just a mortal, if you want to come to the City Lord's Mansion, you won't pay too much attention to him, it should be easier to get him."

"However, it seems unlikely that he knew the truth back then." Hu Yizhi hesitated after hearing the words.

"Know and don't know if you try it. If he can't find anything, we will try Jinzihua again. Maybe the elders in the family have mentioned this to her, so I don't know."

Liu Xiaolu had seen this golden painting before, but it was only at the fifth level of Qi refining, so it is not difficult to deal with it.

Hu Yizhi nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it for now. But this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. I will go to the city tomorrow to discuss it with Uncle Lou."

"That's natural." Liu Xiaolu nodded in response.

Now she is trapped in Yuchuan and cannot go out. Although Hu Yizhi's movements are not restricted, but after all, he only has the sixth level of Qi Refining. If there is Lou Wanxiang's help in this matter, it will go smoothly.

After chatting for a few more words, Hu Yizhi got up and went back to the house.

Seeing him leave, Liu Xiaolu picked up the bamboo chopsticks that had been casually placed on the table just now, only to realize that the two of them were only talking, and the dishes on the table were already completely cold.

……

In the beautifully furnished bedroom, an old man in white was furious.

"Every time I ask you, you say that you have been cultivating all day, heh, cultivating and cultivating. After more than two years of cultivating, how come you are not good at it?!"

Hu Weiyi's face was livid, and with a flick of his sleeves, he swept all the items on the table beside him to the ground.

Small crock pots, pen holders, delicate small copper stoves, and all kinds of sundries rolled all over the floor.

A white-clothed girl about [-] or [-] years old knelt at Hu Weiyi's feet with red eyes, stretched out her hand to grab the hem of his clothes, and wailed,

"Grandpa, Ruyi knew he was wrong, please give Ruyi another chance, Ruyi must practice hard and live up to Grandpa's expectations!"

Hu Weiyi was getting angry, and immediately shook off the girl's hand, and shouted sharply, "Don't do this with me again, what's the use of just admitting your mistakes? Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?!"

Hu Ruyi was violently thrown away by the white-clothed old man under the rage, and the girl's smooth forehead hit the corner of the desk with a thump, and immediately, bright red blood flowed from the wound.

But the girl didn't seem to feel the pain, and ignored the blood that had already flowed onto her cheeks, but got up again and hugged the old man's legs, crying,
"Grandpa, Ruyi really knows that she's wrong, Ruyi must practice hard, please spare Jixiang!"

Looking carefully, the white-clothed old man was indeed holding a plump two-color civet cat in his left hand behind his back.

But the cat was not as lively and pleasant as usual, instead it was motionless and let Hu Weiyi hold it in his hand. If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs of its stomach, it would have been thought to be dead and dying.

Seeing his granddaughter's face covered with blood, Hu Weiyi couldn't help but feel a bit softer. Although he stopped pushing the girl away, he still said with a straight face,

"If you practice hard, I will spare this little thing's life."

When Hu Ruyi heard the words, she immediately nodded hurriedly.

But Hu Weiyi snorted coldly, took out another note from his sleeve, and slapped it on the table in front of Hu Ruyi, "But you must first tell me who this note belongs to!"
